PC based windows program driven BLE dongle to debug NRF8001

[Mike]

I designed the NRF8001 into my circuit board and my application processor is connected to it. Now I need to develop my application program such that I can transmit and receive via BLE.I need to find a USB BLE Dongle supported by a Windows based program, such that I can debug my circuit without having to write any PC based code, but instead control the dongle by using the program?

Hello, did you had a look at this: https://www.nordicsemi.com/eng/Products/Bluetooth-low-energy/nRF-Connect-for-desktop ?

You can use any of the nRF5 DKs as hardware, including the nRF51 dongle.
